Chapter 179 Li Changsheng makes plans and takes every step carefully!
"Brother, Jiang Kuanglong's expression just now was just as exciting as it could be. This time it was really satisfying, so satisfying!"
After Jiang Kuanglong and others left, Ying Yunhai no longer concealed his inner excitement.
But this is no wonder.
In the past three years, his days in Longxiong Guard were really too depressing and frustrating.
When the previous emperor was in power, he had promised him privately that he would be in charge of the Longxiang Guard in the future.
But no one expected that after the emperor's mysterious death, everyone would forget about him.
The first thing the Queen Mother did after she took power was to arrange for Jiang Kuanglong to come and take over the position of the commander-in-chief of the Longxiong Guard, which originally belonged to him.
Moreover, after Jiang Kuanglong became the commander-in-chief of Longxiong Guard, he suppressed his trusted subordinates openly and covertly.
As a result, his base, Xiaoguo Camp, was infiltrated and turned into a sieve, and was jointly undermined by the two brothers Jiang Li and Jiang Jian.
If it weren't for Li Changsheng, within a year, even his position as the commander of the Xiaoguo Camp would have to change hands.
Compared to Ying Yunhai's joyful shout, Li Changsheng was not so optimistic.
Whether it is to His Majesty or to the Xiao family, he is just using the tiger's skin as a banner.
If the true intention is revealed, we will suffer defeat.
He could be ruthlessly thrown out as a discarded pawn at any time.
It was as if in another time and space, Emperor Jing of Han beheaded his teacher Chao Cuo in order to quell the Rebellion of the Seven Kings.
Oh, this is definitely the start of hell!
"Brother Ying, our commander-in-chief doesn't like to suffer losses. He just suffered a setback and he will definitely not let it go. We have to be careful in dealing with it next time!"
Li Changsheng's words were undoubtedly like a bucket of cold water poured over the head of Ying Yunhai, who was just saying "it feels so good".
Over the past three years, he has been targeted and suppressed by Jiang Kuanglong. He is very clear about the other party's methods, which are extremely cruel.
"Brother Li, you've become a thorn in Jiang Kuanglong's side. What should we do next? Do you have a plan to deal with it?"
Li Changsheng spread his hands and said, "We can only adapt to the situation. When the enemy comes, we will fight with our troops, and when the water comes, we will block it with earth!"
Ying Yunhai thought about it and realized that there was really no better way. He could only take it one step at a time as Li Changsheng said.
Thinking of this, he patted Li Changsheng's shoulder heavily.
"Brother Li, we are now in the same boat. No matter what you do in the Xiaoguo Camp, I will support you unconditionally!"
"Even if you ask me to give up the position of brigade commander, I will never hesitate."
Seeing Ying Yunhai's sincerity, Li Changsheng also said from the bottom of his heart:
"Brother Ying, you're too kind. I have absolutely no desire for the position of brigade commander. We are all here to help His Majesty!"
"I, Li Changsheng, only believe in one truth: the world of Dawu is the winner, and the Longxiong Guard is also the winner."
"No matter who the others are, whether their surname is Jiang or Xiao, they must not get involved at all."
"If anyone dares to overstep their bounds, I, Li Changsheng, will be the first to disapprove. I will definitely use the Emperor's Sword bestowed upon me by His Majesty to cut off those claws!"
Hearing Li Changsheng's passionate speech, Ying Yunhai applauded.
"Brother Li, well said!"
"What are you going to do next?"
Li Changsheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Take every step carefully!"
Ying Yunhai was confused and asked, "How do you plan step by step?"
Li Changsheng had already thought about this in his mind and blurted it out directly.
"First, we must eliminate all dissidents within the Xiaoguo Camp and build an iron army that is truly loyal to His Majesty!"
"This is also the foundation for our survival as brothers in the Longxiong Guard!"
Ying Yunhai deeply agreed with Li Changsheng's proposal.
In fact, he had this idea before.
But one person can't do it alone.
Not to mention anything else, just the two brothers Jiang Li and Jiang Jian are enough to make him exhausted.
Now, Jiang Li has been dismissed from his position as the Captain of Cavalry, and his life or death is unknown.
On my side, I have a strong teammate who can help me share my worries and solve my problems.
This is changing!
Next, it was Jiang Jian's turn. He was alone in the Xiaoguo Camp and had no choice but to stand firm.
Thinking of this, Ying Yunhai became a little impatient.
"Brother Li, do you have any method to eliminate dissidents?"
Li Changsheng thought about it and gave a fourteen-character guideline.
"To your brothers, treat them with empathy. To your enemies, strike with lightning!"
Ying Yunhai could naturally understand the thundering attack on the enemy.
But when he put himself in his brother's shoes, he was completely confused.
I don't understand, what does it mean to put yourself in someone else's shoes?
Li Changsheng saw Ying Yunhai's doubts, but he didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
"Brother Ying, have the compensation for the wounded soldiers who followed me to suppress the bandits, as well as the pensions for those who died in the battle, been distributed to their families?"
When Ying Yunhai heard Li Changsheng ask this question out of the blue, he immediately felt ashamed.
"Not yet. The money has not been distributed yet. As soon as I get it, I will distribute it as soon as possible. I will never let down the brothers who were killed or injured!"
Li Changsheng asked, "Has it not been issued yet, or is there someone above who is deliberately holding it back?"
The person above Ying Yunhai naturally refers to the commander-in-chief Jiang Kuanglong.
The Jiang family originally planned to take advantage of this opportunity to suppress the bandits and give Jiang Li another push, helping him to take the throne of the commander of the Xiaoguo Camp.
But who knew that Jiang Li underestimated the enemy and was careless. Not only did he fail to gain enough military merit, but he ended up with his entire army wiped out.
Now, let alone moving up to a higher level, he couldn’t even keep his current position as a cavalry captain.
This is because the Queen Mother interceded for me.
Otherwise, if it were someone else, they would definitely die.
Now, the Jiang family has lost more than they gained.
Having suffered such a huge loss, he naturally would not let it go.
Therefore, the pensions for the fallen soldiers were used as bargaining chips by them and held tightly in their hands.
Li Changsheng pondered for a moment and said, "No matter what, we can't let the brothers who have been through thick and thin with us feel disheartened!"
Ying Yunhai looked embarrassed and said, "Brother Li, I understand all these principles, but even a good cook cannot cook without rice!"
Li Changsheng said: "I still have some silver here, I'll put it in the pot first to deal with the emergency!"
As he spoke, he took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and handed it over.
When Ying Yunhai saw that Li Changsheng actually paid out of his own pocket to pay pensions to the dead soldiers, he was completely dumbfounded.
"Brother Li, it's only been two days since you took office at Longxiong Guard. How could I let you pay out of your own pocket? Isn't that a slap in my face?"
Li Changsheng said, "Brother Ying, this is the ten thousand taels of silver the Xiao family gave me. They said it's to thank me for saving Miss Xiao's life."
"This money is pure unexpected wealth to me. If I don't spend it, I will feel uneasy!"
"Besides, I'm a eunuch. I don't own property or land, and I don't marry or have children. I just need to have enough to eat and drink. Why would I keep so much money? I might as well take this opportunity to do good deeds!"
Hearing Li Changsheng's sincere words, Ying Yunhai couldn't help but feel moved.
Although Li Changsheng has a disabled body, he still has a sincere heart to serve his country.
He is a member of the royal family, but he is afraid of taking risks when doing great things, and forgets his life when seeing small gains. No one can compare with him in terms of courage or vision.
It's really shameful!
Thinking of this, Ying Yunhai made up his mind and wanted to take out the silver.
But he found that he had only a dozen or so taels of silver on him.
It's really not something I can show off.
Li Changsheng saw the embarrassment in Ying Yunhai's heart and said:
"Brother Ying, you have parents, a wife, and children to support. Consider this ten thousand taels of silver as belonging to both of us. If it's not enough, I'll find another way!"
Ying Yunhai: “…”
At this moment, he was so moved that he wanted to kneel down to Li Changsheng.
"Brother Li, the total pension for 1200 soldiers is about taels. If we only have this taels of silver and divide it equally, it will probably be of no help!"
Li Changsheng pondered for a moment and said, "Let's not worry about the thousand men who died in the battle following Jiang Li!"
"They paid the price with their lives because of Jiang Li's underestimation of the enemy and his reckless advance. The Jiang family must give an explanation for this!"
"This ten thousand taels of silver I have is only used to properly arrange for the two hundred soldiers who were killed or wounded while accompanying me at the time, and to provide compensation to their families."
After hearing this, Ying Yunhai suddenly realized.
At this moment, he finally understood how to treat his brothers with empathy.
Moreover, comparing the two, those soldiers who went to fight for the Jiang family would also seriously consider it.
Which side should I stand on?
He followed the loyal and righteous Li Jianjun.
Or should I continue to stay with the mean and ungrateful Jiang family...
